When Phil Neville faced Universitario with Inter Miami he said: "When I saw the support outside the hotel, on the networks... I thought this is a club that you can fall in love with... It is a team that I am going to follow because "They made this great night possible, they came from Peru, they fought on the field and we appreciate that," were the words of the Englishman who confessed himself a new fan of the 'merengues'.

In that Universitario match he did everything he could in the United States, but he did not manage to get a good result against Inter Miami, which gave him a 4-0 win, despite that there was a great party in the stadium, but above all things the 'creams' managed to impress the coach of Inter Miami at that time.

Although Universitario did not have much luck on the field and ended up leaving many doubts about the fans, for coach Phil Neville he was a great rival, not only because he did not know them, but because he fell in love with the club, this thanks to their fans, who proved to be very loyal and were cheering the entire game in the United States.

Phill Neville is currently in charge of Portland in the MLS, a team he joined in 2024. After his time at Inter Miami, he had a small foray into Canada, where he was a technical assistant. Neville so far has not been able to demonstrate as a coach what he did as a player at Manchester United.
